Lions are carnivores they have to kill other animals to survive though, they're the same as humans in that they kill animals who are herbivores,. Can you imagine trying to farm lions etc for food? (Is that what you mean?) Humans are actually worse because we don't actually need to eat meat at all, Lions do

To be fair, they also straight up murder the male cubs of other lions for the crime of not being related to them , nothing to do with food. Still love cats though. I adore my little murder floof even though there's a half skinned mouse smeared across the garden path as I type this. She murders increasingly large animals and leaves them there if I haven't given her wet food pouches for a while. She never actually eats the poor buggers, she just maims them and leaves them there. I think it's some sort of threat .
